So I got a letter from a concierge member to Bill O'Reilly.com. If you don't know what that is, we live on Bill O'Reilly.com. That is our headquarters for common sense, for all my W.ABC commentary, for my national television commentary, it's all centered on Bill O'Reilly.com. And if you'd like to become a member, and they're get discounts, tremendous stuff, it's worth it. And we have many, many, many members. There are two memberships, regular membership and concierge. And the concierge membership, that means you get a private email, and it goes right to me. And I answer your questions most of the time within 24 hours.

It could be anything. If you're in trouble, if you're having a family problem, or if it's fun, you want to travel somewhere. I've been to 86 countries. I've been to every state. I can guide you. you money, all of that. So I got a letter yesterday from Guy in North Carolina, a concierge member, he says, I want to travel in New York City with my wife and dog, and we're driving.

And we want to spend some time in the city, and then we go to Boston, and then we go to Maine. It's a nice road trip, right? So I write back to my say, okay, if you want to come to Manhattan, you don't want to drive in because parking is going to kill you. It's going to cost you an enormous amount of money and you can't drive around the city anyway. It's too credit. And most of the big hotels don't want the dog, right? So right away, you got to go to plan B. Here's plan B. Jersey City. I said there's some nice hotels, great city views, take the ferry across the Hudson, when you're

you get to the ferry terminal in Manhattan, you have an Uber waiting, you hire the Uber guy for the day, and he takes you anywhere you want to go, and you can take the dog, and more of the hotels in Jersey City, and you're doing Hoboken, you know, a whole bunch of towns, Union City, they'll accept the dog, okay? You probably want to take the dog because you don't want to leave the dog alone for eight hours or however you're going to tour. So that's the kind of advice that I give to out-of-towners. So this guy in North Carolina, he didn't know what he's looking at here in New York. Every, even those of us who live here, if you're going to go into that city, you have to plan every second. You have to plan when you're going to go in.

Oh, yeah, it's three o'clock in the afternoon. I think I'll go into Manhattan. Well, all right. you're going to have a lot of company you know and you know when i have to go to yankee stadium yank is really doing well this year i mean to get there is uh you know you know so you got to plan everything in manhattan and even if you want to go to the other boroughs statin island's the easiest if you're driving in north carolina who's whip across the bridge and you're in Staten Island, it's not a problem. And you can base in Staten Island and take the ferry across, but that's a little bit more time. That's why I recommended the Jersey City option. But the reason I'm telling you all this is Memorial Day is coming, and I'm going to have a little

bit more on it tomorrow night. And we're going to be out and about. We, New Yorkers, you're going to be out and about, you've got to plan it now because there's so many cars in a row. When I was growing up, we had two cars. We had the white whale, which is my car, which was a Nash Rambler, for those of you who are a little bit older. And it worked. It got me where I wanted to go, as the Beach Boys once sang. And then we had another used car, some red thing, were my parents. No seatbelts, of course, nothing like that. Secondhand smoke for my mother. I mean, I felt like I was in Akron, Ohio, with the smoke in the back seat. But anyway, two cars.

Now, a family of four or five would have three or four cars, and that's a difference. So the roads are the same, but the families have more cars and bigger cars. I see these five-foot-two women driving these giant SUVs, and it's always. a problem. Sorry, I'm not a misogynist, but when you're four for 11 and you've got a big Yukon, bad things are going to happen. Anyway, I'll get into that more tomorrow. So we want you to check out Bill O'Reilly.com membership, concierge, and premium, and any travel questions you have, I'd be happy to answer.
